Bacon goes upstream

MIAMI –Looking for that something special for your bacon-loving friends or spouse? MacKnight Food Group’s newest product, salmon bacon offers a healthy alternative with less fat and calories, according to the company.

This product is derived from freshly-smoked salmon, Ian MacKnight, deputy managing director, told MEATPOULTRY.com. “Salmon bacon is a very versatile product and may be cooked in a variety of ways,” he added. “In addition, this simple substitute can have a big impact on the daily diet. Our product has 80 calories and 5 grams of fat in a 2-oz. serving, compared to the 300 calories and 47 grams of fat traditional bacon packs.”
